Project Highlight – Cliffside Courtyard Near Hornby Lighthouse
On a breezy street overlooking Camp Cove, we reworked a courtyard and adjacent cliff-edge bed exposed to salt and afternoon sun:
- Replaced thirsty ornamentals with layered coastal natives including Banksia integrifolia, Westringia and Myoporum
- Introduced sandy-loam soil blends and concealed drainage to manage runoff
- Installed low-profile windbreak planting without sacrificing harbour views
- Converted sprays to pressure-regulated drip and added smart scheduling
- Finished with deep, dark mulch to lock in moisture and suppress weeds
Outcome: a calm, coastal garden that holds its shape through wind and salt while remaining easy to maintain year-round.
Watsons Bay Gardening Tips
- Anchor exposed areas: choose deep-rooted, salt-tolerant species such as Banksia, Lomandra and coastal rosemary to stabilise beds.
- Mulch with purpose: apply thicker layers in clifftop zones to buffer soil from wind and sun, and to reduce evaporation.
- Water the roots, not the leaves: drip irrigation limits salt crusting and keeps foliage looking clean.
